Hampden-Sydney College

An outstanding two-sport athlete, David Kelly was a four-year starter on the football field and three-year starter on the baseball diamond.  He earned All-ODAC honors as a freshman and claimed All-America and All-ODAC honors again as a junior.  With 3,433 career rushing yards, Kelly is second in the H-SC record books.  As a freshman, he ran for 213 yards against Washington and Lee, the fourth highest single-game total in school history.  His 194 career points is fourth-best in school history.

Kelly's numbers on the baseball field were equally impressive.  He posted a .456 batting average in 1986 to set a school record that still stands.  His .394 career average is the second-best mark in school history.  On the base paths, he was nearly unstoppable with 48 career stolen bases in 52 attempts.  Kelly holds two of the top four single-season stolen base marks, swiping 17 in 1986 and 16 in 1987.

Off the field, Kelly was a Merit Scholar and was awarded the Gammon Cup in 1988.  He and his wife, Jennifer, live in Clarksville, Va., where Kelly is a manager for Burlington Men's Wear.
